Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 226 – AUGUST 2013 EDITORIAL I know at least two people spotted the deliberate mistake in July’s AGB. The Explosion weekend was in June of course, not July. There are no prizes for spotting the occasional, cunningly hidden deliberate error; just give yourself three cheers and a pat on the back. And as Shaw Taylor* used to say, “Keep ‘em peeled”. (Revealing my age now). Don’t forget to send in your articles formatted in Times New Roman font size 12 and photographs for “Battlefleet” to [email protected] These sites of interest are from Robert Langlois http://www.tf4m.com/mystery-ship/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monge_%28A601%29 Robert also is working on a Convoy/Escort/U-Boat Game which hopefully can be serialised in a couple of AGBs soon. It could inspire you to produce some rules of your own, as let’s face it; those shop bought rules always contain something that we are not quite happy with. Another site of interest could be www.nam.ac.uk/unseen-enemy no; it is not about submarines but improvised explosive devices from a clockwork device in Ludgate Railway Station in 1884 up to present day Afghanistan. If you visit a Museum or somewhere else of interest, please produce a few words, hopefully positive, for inclusion in AGB. If you can match Bruce Dawson’s effort for July’s AGB, that will be great. Cheers Norman Bell [email protected] *Shaw Taylor presented “Police 5”, which predates “Crimewatch” by more years than I care to think about. NAVAL WARGAMING POST WWII. The scale of the problem. If you are lucky you may have access to a table tennis size table but most will have to make do with a regular dinning table as a playing area. With big guns, aircraft, helicopters and missiles increasing the range of battles, just how do you represent great distances on a dinning table? Hex mapboards or more likely mapsheets these days, with each hex representing many miles may be one solution but the maps in Victory Game’s 2nd Fleet (Modern Naval Combat in the North Atlantic dating from 1986) are bigger than my dinning table. Consequently the game does not get played. The Explosion Museum Naval Games weekend included a cold war Mediterranean battle with a novel way of showing Task Forces that in reality would be many miles away. If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know. Norman Bell. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 TYPE 26 FRIGATE Due to arrive from 2021 onwards, the Type 26 Global Combat Ships will be the workhorses of the future Royal Navy, replacing the existing Type 23 Frigates. Right now there’s an 80-strong team of naval and civilian engineers working on the designs in Bristol. By the mid-2030s the Type 26 will be the backbone and workhorse of the Royal Navy. Iron Duke back at sea after major upgrade Portsmouth-based HMS Iron Duke has returned to sea after a 16-month upgrade and now boasts one of the world's most advanced radar systems. HMS Iron Duke sails from Portsmouth [Picture: Leading Airman (Photographer) Maxine Davies, Crown copyright] The Type 23 frigate is the first Royal Navy ship to be fitted with Artisan – a 3D radar 5 times better than the old version it replaces. Iron Duke has left Portsmouth to begin an intensive period of sea trials. As part of a £100 million programme, Artisan (advanced radar, target indication, situational awareness and navigation) will be fitted to all the Navy’s 13 Type 23s as well as the 2 future aircraft carriers. The Type 23’s replacement, the Type 26 Global Combat Ship, may also carry the system when it enters service next decade. Artisan boasts some impressive statistics. It can spot something as small as a cricket or tennis ball travelling at 3 times the speed of sound more than 25 kilometres away. Built from the same lightweight carbon glass fibre materials found on a Formula 1 racing car, Artisan weighs just 700 kilograms. The system can track up to 800 moving targets simultaneously, whether they are 200 metres or 200 kilometres away from the ship. Using Artisan, Iron Duke could sit in her home base, in Portsmouth, and simultaneously follow aircraft 9 flying into Heathrow, Gatwick, Southampton, Stansted, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Birmingham airports. With advanced anti-jamming features, Artisan is not affected by interference from 10,000 mobile phone signals, and can pick out targets against a background of electronic noise and interference. Iron Duke’s upgrade, carried out by BAE Systems in Portsmouth, also included work on her other weapons systems and combat computer. In addition, improvements to her ventilation mean she is able to operate more efficiently in hot climates. Rob Morgan and I both saw the following news item. A naval toast in HMS Elephant the day before the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 bridgemanart.com FOR decades the Royal Navy has recited the same toasts before formal dinners. But now, in a bid to bring the navy into the 21st century, and address the fact that women also serve in the forces, two of them have been changed. The Ministry of Defence said naval officers would no longer raise their glasses on a Saturday and toast ‘our wives and sweethearts’ – usually met with the unofficial reply ‘may they never meet’. Instead an instruction by the Second Sea Lord Vice-Admiral David Steel has modified it to say ‘our families’. Sailors make a toast on a submarine in 1940 The change has been put down to the fact there have now been women at sea for more than two decades. A second toast made on Tuesday nights has also been changed from ‘our men’ to ‘our sailors’. 10 But not everyone welcomes the changes. Mike Critchley is a former naval officer and book publisher, from Gosport. He said: ‘I see the whole thing as unnecessary. ‘It’s a bit of a storm in a teacup; the navy doesn’t go around toasting everybody. ‘It’s a reflection of political correctness, and if that’s considered important, then that’s what it is. ‘The navy has moved forward and doesn’t host as many dinners like it used to.’ A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: ‘To reflect cultural changes and our modern and inclusive navy, two of the naval toasts used at mess dinners have been updated. ‘The Royal Navy values the diversity and range of its personnel, and it is only right that its traditional toasts should reflect the fact women have been at sea for more than 20 years.’ Although women have served at sea since 1990, it was only last year when the first woman was made commander of a frontline Royal Navy warship. The navy has traditional toasts for every night of the week. But such toasts are mainly made during large celebratory dinners or when a ship has anchored – not every day. The toasts are now as follows: Sunday: ‘Absent friends’. Monday: ‘Our ships at sea’. Tuesday: ‘Our sailors’. Wednesday: ‘Ourselves (as no-one else is likely to concern themselves with our welfare)’. Thursday: ‘A bloody war or a sickly season’. Friday: ‘A willing foe and sea-room’. Saturday: ‘Our families’. It’s been a busy few weeks at Devonport as a submarine and three ships all returned home to their base-port and to families and friends after many months away. It was the end of a record-breaking patrol for nuclear sub HMS Trenchant; back after 11 months away, with 267 days spent east of Suez. Operating under joint command, HMS Trenchant has completed several periods of national tasking and contributed to NATO operations against terrorism and counter-narcotics. During her time away, HMS Trenchant visited Fujairah in the UAE, Diego Garcia, Bahrain, Jordan, Crete and Gibraltar - a deployment spanning some 38,800 nautical miles, spending over 4700 hours underwater. The crew have consumed over 34,000 eggs, almost 8000 litres of milk with the chefs cooking over 103,000 meals! Commanding Officer, Commander Irvine Lindsay praised his crew, saying, “Whilst I am enormously proud of the achievements of my ship’s company, I do not believe they are a unique body of men. I am convinced that the resilience, dedication, professional pride and sheer grit demonstrated by this ship’s company are indicative of the high calibre of personnel serving across the whole of the submarine service and indeed the Royal Navy”. The crew are now looking forward to a well- deserved period of leave while HMS Trenchant prepares for a two-year maintenance period. Joining HMS Trenchant back in Devonport was Type 23 “Duke Class” Frigate HMS Monmouth, back after seven months in the Arabian Gulf, putting another 53,000 miles on the clock and while away, celebrating her 20th year of service. Type 23 Frigate HMS Northumberland, also back after seven months away in the Middle-East and east coast of Africa carrying out counter-piracy and counter-narcotics operations. Boarding teams carried out over 70 boarding operations, one of which resulted in the capture of cannabis resin with an estimated street value of £5.5m. During her deployment Northumberland visited 11 countries, completing over 45,000 miles. Survey ship HMS Enterprise returned to base after nine months away, also in the Middle-East, during which time she surveyed over 1,220km2, or the equivalent of 170,000 football pitches and discovered two uncharted wrecks within Dubai’s Port Rashid Harbour.

  • All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No
    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 250 – AUGUST 2015 EDITORIAL Tin pieces from a Battle of Coronel and Falkland Islands Game dating from 1915. The Game was included for free in “Chums” a newspaper for boys. (And a Schneider Trophy winning seaplane for some reason. Designed by Mitchell, who went on to design the Spitfire of course). The Imperial War Museum has a set of the pieces and many other artefacts relating to the battles. They also have photographs taken by officers during the sea fight and oral histories from men who were there. My memory of late 1982, early 1983 is that a Falkland Island War Game was in the shops; I saw it but dithered on buying it, as it came with a paper map. I’m from the generation that believes “board games” should have a board. There was controversy at the time, as the Game, so soon after the Falklands War was thought to be, “in bad taste”. It was withdrawn for sale (in the UK at least) and I forgot all about it. 30 plus years later and with the help of the internet, I came upon it by chance. He who hesitates is lost, so I took the plunge and bought a copy. An introductory level game from Mayfair Games which covers the events of the Great War plus those of 1982. It’s good fun and should you come across it, I suggest you buy it. By the way; “Chums” 500 plus pages for 1d. (For you youngsters that’s one old penny and there were 240 pennies in a Pound) 1 The following is an excerpt from Mensun Bound’s notes in the “Penguin News”; the Falkland Islands’ weekly newspaper.

  • Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No
    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 287 – SEPTEMBER 2018 Monday 6th August was International Naval War-Gaming Day, celebrating the birth of Fred Jane, father of naval wargaming. Last year games were played all around the world (the first started in Australia at just after midnight), ancient to ultra-modern, solo players to big groups. I hope this year was as good or better but as yet I have not seen anything to support it. Rob Morgan regularly brings to my attention articles in newspapers with naval links. Like the €1bn Spanish submarine that is too long for the dock at Cartagena resulting in additional expenditure for dock works and infrastructure. Another article was about the Australian invitation to China to join in the biennial Kakadu exercises and wargames. See also the book review about the “Indianapolis” which will be in next month’s AGB. WW2 shipwrecks are being plundered for scrap metal in Indonesia and Malaysian waters. The ten ships consist of HMS Prince of Wales, SS Loch Ranza, HMS Tien Kwang, HMS Banka, HMS Repulse, HMS Encounter, HMS Electra, HMS Exeter and HMS Thanet. The UK government absolutely condemns the unauthorised disturbance of any wreck containing human remains, and always has done. A military wreck should remain undisturbed and those who lost their lives on board should be allowed to rest in peace. The UK will work closely with the Indonesian and Malaysian Governments and local authorities to investigate. Somewhere in the world, the sun is over the yardarm. Norman Bell EAST CHINA SEA (Aug 2018) A Mark 45 5-inch gun weapon system fires ordinance during a live-fire weapon training exercise aboard the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG 54).
